One of the major causes of illness and aging is what sort of toxins and substances we allow into our bodies. Poor diet, stress, and pollution in our environment all contribute to sickness and premature aging.

Known as “free radicals,” these particles can wreak havoc by disrupting biochemical processes and even killing healthy cells. Thankfully, one ...[READ MORE]

Welcome to the water filter lady’s blog! Meet Laura…

I have been in the water filter business for 12 years. My goal is to help educate you.
Deciding to drink filtered tap water instead of bottled water can have huge benefits for the earth. We can eliminate unnecessary waste going into our landfills and oceans, cut back on the energy it takes to produce and transport the bottles, reduce our exposure to harmful chemicals like BPA, and stop supporting an industry moving to turn water from a common resource into an expensive commodity.
